Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of
''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''.
These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but
can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand.
Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares
outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing
notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old
units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying
holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of
units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also
impact the individual components held within ETFs.
